Did Reagan’s policy fit his brand of conservatism?
Reagan's changes in office obviously did not fit his brand of conservatism.
Reagan’s policy did not fit his brand of conservatism because he promised to end the deficits in; yet, it wasn’t successful. Before Reagan, budget deficits remained below $75 billion. From 1982 to the end of Reagan’s second term, however, annual deficits exceeded $100 billion. In 1986, the annual deficit reached a new record of $221 billion.
Another policy which did not fit Reagan’s brand of conservatism was the tax cutting. Promising to bring America out of economic depression; however, did not work under Reagan. Due to the tax cutting, the national debt nearly tripled from $908 billion in 1980 to $2.6 trillion in 1988. The government had to borrow hundreds of billions of dollars each year just to pay the interest on this debt.

Did Reagan's policies fit that brand?
Reagan's changes in office obviously did not fit his brand of conservatism.
One of Reagan's policy- supply side economics shows that it is a liberal change. According to this policy, economic growth depends on increasing the supply of goods and service. Which he uses it to increase the power of state government in order to bring America out from the economic depression.
Another policy which does not fit conservatism is evangelicals. which gives the Christians the ability to speak in the society. Yet, none of the president had given religious groups a chance to talk. Thus, the new change is considered as a liberal change.
The reduce of the spendings of social warfare definitely does not fit Reagan's brand. They believed that social programs stifled personal initiative and produced a dependence on government aid, thus trapping people in a cycle of poverty. Yet, the changes has not been done before. Thus it is a new change in the society.
